Hey #KubeCon, be extra kind to the staff today. One of them I chatted with yesterday whispered to me that people were giving them a hard time today

I’m as excited about macOS Containers as anyone, but I also think the fine folks at lima-vm.io deserve credit for already putting together a great solution for Docker on macOS
